We are just very blessed this morning to have a guest, speaker, Luis Salinas and his wife, Aida, and their family, Gabby, Leslie, and David. And, Luis and I are the directors of New Generation Ministries. This is the ministry that we've been involved with and being able to go down and visit the boys, 23 boys that they're able to minister to and try to raise them up to be a godly men for the Lord. If you remember correct, back in December, our gift for Jesus offering went to New Generation Ministries, and, we've just really enjoyed getting to know them.
And their ministry and very excited about what the Lord is doing just two hours south of us in Tijuana. And one of my first impressions of just Luis and Aida is when we went to visit them, 23 boys plus David and their own kids, and, Luis just has this really awesome combination of, of love and tenderness and machisimo. And, and it's like you just see him hugging on the boys and kissing the boys and ministering to them, and then when it's time to get in the van, he just whistles. I don't even know how he, I can't whistle like that.
He just whistles and and the van is loaded and, and I'm like looking around like trying to figure out how we get our family into the van. He's got like everybody in. So, just really a blessing and anyway, they're gonna, they're gonna start off by blessing us with some music and then a little, little presentation and then Luis is gonna preach. But let's just, let's just welcome the Salinas family.
We're very glad to be here with you guys this morning. It's a really, real honor to, meet the rest of the congregation. We've been blessed on, having some people coming over, and being out of place, quite a few times, and, now it's a real pleasure to be with you. and meet the rest of you....
